FULL-FUNCTION DISPLAY
The front of the controller has a clear, bright, easy-to-
read, anti-glare display consisting of graphics and
alphanumeric characters.This enables the operator to
keep track of every parameter that is received or
generated by the controller. Measure-ment and set-
point displays have applicable engineering units
